CM7 All Gapps, but no Gmail? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed CM7 on my DHD and everything went just fine, I am flashing devices since the early days of Motorola Milestone. I was a huge fan of AOSP Roms on the Desire, so I finally made the decision to flash CM7.
I flashed gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip and all Gapps are there, but Gmail! I just dont get it, am I that stupid or is there anything important missing? I looked into the zip file and couldnt find gmail either?

you browsed it in the android market apk??¿?¿?
and not results??? weird.....
i just tested it in my device and i found it
why you can´t? u sure?

Once I flashed and booted back up and opened market I got requested to choose what I want to download and one of the options was Gmail app. I flashed the same gapps as you, that's odd.
EDIT: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.gm
Go to it with your phone and it should show up with the gmail app ready to download from the market.

you need the gapps if you are going to run cyanogenmod, otherwise you wont have things like market, gmail, google talk, etc

Yeah I flashed the gapps.zip right after I flashed CM and the Market didnt show until after I did a factory reset. Gmail and the oother goodies were all there but the market was awol....Weird, but fixed now.
Thanks though. I should have added that to my previous post.
This looks like thread that was meant for Q&A not development...

Not able to download from market on evo

Does anyone have an issue with the market? I can not download anything. In catlog it shows can't find pathname for completed download uri.
Any ideas?
tried a battery pull? Just checked mine, works fine.
YES tried this.. I did have a problem with the latest market where I had to uninstall the market update to revert back to the ORIG market (before the update) to get it to download anything.. BUT since I did a ROM update, I dont have the old version anymore .. so NOW the latest version of the market does not download at all....
Any ideas??
If google voice came on your rom, make sure you haven't killed or uninstalled it. That will mess up market downloads sometimes.

I dont think it came with the ROM but I did install it. Anyway, its there and running fine so I guess that isnt the issue with the market...
HMMM
You could try installing an older version of the market. Has it worked at all since the rom update? Or it just isn't working right now?

It was not working BEFORE the rom update but I was able to uninstall the market update and use the OLD market and it worked fine..
SO I believe this is a GOOGLE MARKET ISSUE.. where can I find the previous market that WILL install on the EVO?
If you want, you can pm me with your email & I'll email you the vending.apk that came with cm6 for the Evo. I'm not sure if you can simply replace the apk in system/app or how to go about installing, but if you want it I'll send it to you.

Just so you know, you can upload it here in the thread as well. And yes, the market apk can be replaced.

When I click insert, it only gives the option to insert from gallery, camera, or URL. This may be because I'm on my phone, not sure.
And second, I just remembered that my market is themed. I don't think this will cause problems but the op may not want a matted blues market. If not I could pull it out of the original rom download.

Yea, that's just cause you're on the mobile app. And it wouldn't make a difference, just his preference, but yea the original apk could be pulled.
Also OP, what rom are you using?

Original mail app.apk?

So I rooted my phone and forgot to back up my original mail app that came with the phone. Not Gmail but the other one labled mail.
I deleted it with Titanium B.U because i only had my gmail to look at. I now have another email and I wish to sync with my phone.
Does anybody have an apk for it or does one even exist? I have an nandro flash but I don't want to flash back just to save it and then flash back again. But if I have to, then I have to.
Did u check market for email app? I didnt find it tho
You can download a rom, open it, go to system, app and find email. Apk and move it to your phone and install it
Id be glad to post it but im not on my computer im just giviing you a place to get it on your own if someone else does not chime in for you
sent from the rooty tooty fresh and fruity cm7 nighly powered G2
I've looked at ones in the market but they don't seem to tickle my fancy. Thanks for your help, though. I just may flashback. I don't want to, I've been pooped out of flashing this past month.
what rom are you using?
attached is email.apk from a gingerbread rom.

GingerVillian 1.5. This is the most stable rom I have used. Everything works perfect. Market worked off the bat unlike all of the CMs I have tried.
Thanks for the attachment.
My phone had problems parsing the file.

[Q][ROM][GSM][AOSP]Apex v1.0.2 - No conversation.apk

Hi everyone,
this is my very first post so I hope I'm not making any mistake posting here instead of somewhere else.
I installed this ROM yesterday (incredible and awesome job, btw) but no conversations.apk was in it and I had to install Hardcent SMS to handle the messaging.
Is it normal or I made something wrong? I also checked the rom .zip before posting.
I searched for infos in the official thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399238) but I've found nothing.
Thanks in advance,

Dunno - unless you didn't flash bigxie's gapps file immediately afterwards before rebooting, but in that case you'd be missing more than just messaging. I assume you did a full wipe first as per instructions.
I installed Apex 1.0.2 and have the native sms apk, although I didn't test it since I prefer Handcent and have disabled native texting.
Maybe your flash had a hiccup, you could try reflashing...
or open up the zip file and see if there's a conversations.apk in it.
I just updated from Apex 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 and I had the stock SMS application on both versions. You may have forgotten to flash the gapps package. Unlike CM7 and other Gingerbread ROMs, the gapps package needs to be flashed along with the ROM every time you update/install.

Hi Clancy_s,
thank you for your reply. I followed the instructions line-by-line as always and also I tried to download again the rom and flash it a second time but nothing...
As I said, I also checked the zip file in order to get the apk and put it manually on /system/app, but I couldn't find it!!
Now you're telling me that you have the stock messaging app on your phone and you also have the same rom I have... that's strange!
Could you please check your rom .zip and look for conversation.apk?

I can but it'll have to wait a couple of days - I'm away from home for the next 3 and like to use a pc for that sort of thing.
I upgraded from Apex 1.0.0 so it's possible the conversation.apk carried over from there...
goo-inside.me/roms/fabolous/maguro/bigxie_maguro_Apex_v1-0-2.zip
<-- link to actuall gapps
i also need to reinstall it after updating from 9.2 -> apex1.0 (namechange) to get sync with google acc
so...I downloaded the file...again... (third time!) and unzipped it.
Am I crazy or there is no conversation.apk in it?
seriously guys: where is it?
it should be in System/App, am I right?
why it isn't there?
today I wiped my phone and flashed for the third time, with the brand new file downloaded few seconds before, after that I flashed the gappas (without rebooting the phone) and THEN I made a reboot.
Still no conversation.apk....??

Rooted and installed Cyanogenmod 7.1, but cant download anything from market...

I followed the g2 root wiki and installed cyanogen mod 7.1 per the directions, and I cant download anything from the market. It just says "app name" could not be downloaded due to an error.
I restored to the froyo backup I made, and marketplace downloads still work.
I then downloaded the ILWT rom, installed that and the same thing, cant download anything. Anyone know whats going on?

I've had that problem myself, Not sure if its a CyanogenMod issue or google apps issue.
That aside go to settings/language & input and change the language to anything but english then switch back, That should fix the issue.

I tried doing that as well as deleting the .android secure folder in the sd card but neither had worked unfortunately.

Ended up switching to the Andromadus Audacity Beta 3 rom and no issues at all with it, but if I end up going back to a cyanogen one I will give that a try.
One thing I noticed was that on the cyanogen roms, it would have the old marketplace. On the Andromadus Audacity Beta 3 rom it had the new play store. Not sure if that has anything to do with it?
